Can you visit the Lille Citadelle?
Looking on a city centre map of Lille, I spotted a very interesting looking 5 point Citadelle at the edge of the old town, as handily shown by OSM:
I wandered over there, and saw some impressive looking walls and ramparts, but after a short walk round part of the surrounding park I couldn't spot anything about being able to go in.
Is the Citadelle generally open to tourists? And if not, are there any times when you can visit the inside of it?

Assuming that this page (which also has more details about the citadel and what's inside) is still up-to-date, it appears that it is possible to visit only via pre-booked guided tour costing e7 booked via tourist office. So seems that the tourist office should have all the details.
The Official Lille Tourist Office page says:
THE CITADEL
...
The Lille Citadel is still occupied by the army and may only be visited as part of a guided tour organised by the Tourist Office. (guided tour only in French).
